Like most people here I have been very busty since I hit puberty. I was a DD by the time I was a freshman in high school and quickly grew to a DDD. My breast size didn't increase much when I was pregnant with my baby, but when I started breastfeeding, they grew to 36K. I am 5'1" and 140lbs. I am really looking forward to reduced back/neck pain and feeling more comfortable in my own skin! I am anxious but mostly excited - this has been a long time coming and can't wait to experience what life is like with a more manageable bust.

I am 4 days PO and life is amazing with smaller boobies. Best thing I have ever done for myself. In just 4 days I have changed so much on the inside and outside. I honestly haven't stopped smiling. For the anxiety, I gave myself added anxiety by over thinking things. Before you start shopping for things find out from our PS what you will need. When getting things situated for home while you are recovering, remember your care taker is able to jump in a car and go to the store. So if you forget milk or bread don't sweat it. I was worrying about not only me recovering, but if my husband would have the things he needs. So yeah, I added extra stress. Read other's stories, take notes and message other's with questions. You have this. Can't wait to read your updates .

I haven't iced yet. Doctor didn't suggest any heat or ice for me. I'm taking pain pills as needed. Hoping to be off them in a couple of days as they make me dizzy and a bit queasy

Yeah, you have this. Make sure you double check with your PS on what type of bra they will have you in afterwards. If you have any questions hit one of us up. Can't wait to here your cross over story to the Land of Boobies.

14 days pre

2 weeks pre-op

Tomorrow is officially 2 weeks pre-op and the realization just hit me like a bag of bricks. I received my consent paperwork from the surgeon in the mail yesterday and signed/sent it back today. Even though I've dreamt about having this done for over a decade, now that it's happening I'm starting to get scared and maybe a little sad. I can only imagine what it will be like to look at myself with smaller boobs since I've had these ridiculous things since I was 14. I'm super excited for all the good things to come but really bummed about not being able to pick up my daughter for 6 weeks. I know it will all be worth it but I am definitely going to miss giving her baths and putting her to bed for so long.

You got this. You are going to look fabulous afterwards. I know it's easy for me to say this or that when it comes to your baby as I don't have any of those at home anymore, but you'll still be able to sit and play with her. Maybe try bathing her in the kitchen sink so you can help. Once you can take a shower maybe have her join you (all of this as long as there is someone there with you to help). You'll figure things out. Small sacrifices now for some major life changing experiences. I am so happy for you .

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm sure it'll be a lot better than I'm envisioning in my head. So eager to just get to the surgery and be onto the healing process!

We are all here if you have questions. I know I personally over thought my preparation for surgery. Like I tried to have everything in order so my husband didn't have to worry and it cause me a lot of added stress. Shot me a message is you have questions.

My god, I'm almost one week pre-op and super scared! You look great

Thanks! Nothing to be scared of. Slightly painful but manageable!
